GEMS Education has partnered with Positive Zero to implement the UAE's largest school solar project, installing systems across 23 Dubai schools with a capacity of nearly 12.7 MWp. This initiative will generate 21.25 GWh of electricity annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions by 14,276 metric tonnes, equivalent to removing 3,300 cars from the road. The project aligns with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy and enhances GEMS Education’s sustainability efforts, including climate literacy in its curriculum.
Companies issuing green bonds are significantly reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in high-polluting sectors, according to a study by the Bank for International Settlements. On average, emissions fell by over 10% within four years, with emissions intensity dropping by 30%. The analysis highlights that heavy emitters are especially likely to cut emissions post-issuance, supporting global net zero goals.
Ucaneo has secured funding from Aramco Ventures, enhancing its position in the Direct Air Capture (DAC) sector following a €6.75 million Seed round. The investment will accelerate the development of Germany’s largest DAC demonstration plant, set for commissioning in 2026, while Ucaneo's innovative technology aims to achieve cost-effective CO₂ removal using renewable energy sources. This partnership underscores the commitment to advancing decarbonization efforts and establishing a net-zero economy.
Equator VC has successfully closed its inaugural $55 million climate-tech fund aimed at supporting Seed and Series A-stage ventures in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on energy, agriculture, and mobility.

Cascading extreme weather events are causing unprecedented damages worldwide, amounting to billions of dollars. The increasing frequency and intensity of these events highlight the urgent need for global action to address climate change and its impacts on communities and economies.
The Middle East, spearheaded by the UAE, is poised for a 14% annual growth in renewable energy from 2025 to 2027, with the share of renewables rising from 5% to 7%. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is set to dominate this growth, increasing its contribution from 55% to nearly 70%. Additionally, nuclear power generation is expected to rise by 20% year-on-year in 2024, further diversifying the region's energy mix.
Cosmo Energy Holdings will launch Japan's first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in April, aiming to replace 10% of jet fuel with cleaner alternatives by 2030. The Sakai refinery will produce SAF from used cooking oil, targeting 30,000 kl annually, while also securing partnerships with major airlines. Despite challenges in cost and raw material sourcing, government subsidies are expected to support the initiative, which is part of a broader effort to meet Japan's estimated SAF demand of 1.7 million kl by 2030.
At the Huawei Global Digital Power Summit in Barcelona, the ITU and Huawei unveiled the world's first White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites, emphasizing high-quality battery performance and safety. Charles Yang highlighted the telecom industry's carbon emissions challenges and showcased Huawei's solutions that have helped operators save energy and reduce emissions significantly. The event also addressed the role of AI in enhancing energy efficiency within the ICT sector, paving the way for a greener future.
Egypt has ascended to become Africa's second-largest solar energy producer, with an installed capacity of 707 MW, trailing only South Africa's 1,235 MW. By the end of 2024, solar power projects across the continent are expected to reach a total capacity of 40 GW, with Egypt contributing significantly to this growth.
